Deion Sanders, the larger-than-life personality in college football, was left absolutely flabbergasted when celebrity impressionist Sam Crocker pulled off a stunning impersonation of him on this week’s episode of We Got Time Today.
Crocker, a master of celebrity impressions, took his performance to another level by not only mimicking Coach Prime’s distinct voice and mannerisms but also by donning an outfit identical to Sanders’ iconic style. The two-time Super Bowl champion and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach couldn’t believe his eyes—or ears.
Deion Sanders Reacts to Sam Crocker’s Impression
Deion Sanders took to Instagram on Tuesday to share his reaction to the hilarious impersonation, captioning his post:
“@tubi how can y’all do me like this?? @samcimpressionz u ain’t no good!! I don’t know about the first part BUT THAT LAST PART was SPOT ON.”
The clip has since gone viral, leaving fans of Coach Prime in stitches. Crocker’s flawless delivery, paired with Sanders’ signature swagger and vocal inflections, made the moment even more surreal.
Colorado Buffaloes Begin Spring Practice Under Coach Prime
While Sanders took the time to enjoy the humor, he remains locked in on his primary mission—revamping the Colorado Buffaloes program. After a 9-4 season that ended with an Alamo Bowl loss, the Buffs have entered spring practice with renewed vigor.
Coach Prime’s leadership has already led to massive improvements, and he hopes to make Colorado a serious contender for the Big 12 title in 2025, especially with the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff format looming.
Despite losing key players, including Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, and Shilo Sanders, Coach Prime wasted no time in utilizing the offseason to bolster his roster. His influence also extended to the coaching staff, with former NFL stars like Marshall Faulk, Andre Gurode, and Domata Peko joining the ranks.
Deion Sanders Receives Heartfelt Tribute from Master P
Beyond the football field, Deion Sanders continues to be a major source of inspiration across sports and entertainment. Last month, hip-hop mogul Master P, who was recently named president of basketball operations for the New Orleans Privateers, credited Coach Prime for his groundbreaking impact on coaching.
During an interview with TMZ Sports, Master P expressed his admiration for Sanders:
“If you look at it, right, Deion Sanders opened the door. He did it in football, and he did a great job. That’s the GOAT. And so, this is my time to shine, not only just put the basketball team on the map, but also to bring more students to the school and be able to mentor these kids.”
Sanders, clearly touched by the tribute, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his gratitude:
“Love this brother from day 1. He’s blessed more of us than darn near anyone in the game. And he’s still giving.”
The exchange between these two iconic figures highlights the widespread impact Coach Prime has had—not just on the football world, but across multiple industries.
Deion Sanders’ Coaching Legacy Continues to Grow
Deion Sanders has transformed himself from an NFL legend into one of the most influential figures in college football. His coaching journey began at Jackson State, where he led the Tigers to back-to-back SWAC Championships.
He then took on the challenge of revitalizing a struggling Colorado Buffaloes program. When he arrived, the team had just endured a disastrous 1-11 season. Under his leadership, Colorado quickly became competitive, with Sanders injecting a winning mentality and national attention into the program.
Last season, the Buffaloes came tantalizingly close to competing for a conference title. However, their hopes were dashed after a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas Jayhawks. As they prepare for the upcoming season, Coach Prime is determined to rectify past mistakes and take the program to the next level.
Conclusion
From entertaining impersonations to heartfelt tributes from hip-hop icons, Deion Sanders continues to be one of the most talked-about figures in sports. His charisma, leadership, and relentless drive for success keep him in the spotlight, and as the new college football season approaches, all eyes will be on Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes.
